Did everyone have a nice Easter? Ours was great. Mariah was able to come up from college to spend the weekend. When the girls woke up they were pretty excited to see that the "Easter Bunny" still brought them a basket. That excitement didn't last when they realized the bunny only left them one lollipop in each. I guess that crazy rabbit had to get his April Fool's pranks in. I also pulled my own prank on the family. We always take peanut butter balls to dinner for the extended family to enjoy. Instead of peanut butter balls, I dipped Brussels sprouts in chocolate and passed them off as candy coated treats. We were able to fool about 4 people before everyone else caught on. Overall, we had a great day of harmless pranks, lots of laughs, and best of all, good food.
Speaking of food, this year I added this colorful Julienne Vegetables in Honey Vinaigrette from Golden Blossom Honey to the Easter spread.
This recipe is not only colorful, is has a wonderful mix of flavors and textures. Sweet and tangy with a nice crunch, I could have eaten the whole plate myself! Even though I made this for Easter, I am thinking it will make an awesome summertime BBQ, picnic, or potluck dish as well. It's never too early to plan ahead, so print out or Pin this recipe to revisit this summer.

1 tablespoon GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY MUSTARD
1 tablespoon olive oil

3 medium carrots, cut into matchsticks strips

I hope you are having a nice Easter weekend in Serbia! With nothing working, you should get some relaxing in :)
DeleteI do love blue dishes as of late. I forgot I had this one tucked away until I started rummaging around for a different dish I had planned to use.
isn't it fun when you discover you have a dish you forgot you have? :)
DeleteNothing working except Dezzy :( I've finished freaking Cassandra and now I'm in the process of reading the material before sending it to the publisher... it has freakin 750 pages in Word! Da usual is not more than 300 pages
haha the Easter bunny sure got off cheap at your place. Would have been funny to watch then bite into brussels sprouts.
ReplyDeleteThe girls were supposed to video people eating them, but didn't :(
DeleteLove how this looks ! always yours pictures are wonderful Theresa !! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gloria! I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well!
DeleteHoney is a perfect compliment to any dish, in my opinion. I've been trying to eat more veggies, and I think these are going to taste amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Honey makes everything taste better :)
DeleteI love a good vegetarian recipe. Those carrots, peppers and snow peas make a great base for the dish and I have to try that honey mustard.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely my favorite honey mustard. Just the right amount of sweetness to the tang!
DeleteJust minor jokes, not pranks per se
ReplyDeleteI hope you share your jokes with us, Adam :)
DeleteMy husband and I agreed that we would be having more vegetables in our meals. I think your salad looks great and I love sunflower seeds so this recipe really appeals to me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong adding in more veggies to your meals :)
DeleteLOL to the Brussels Sprouts. I told my youngest there was a centipede that was poisonous right next to his head. I told him not to move because they could jump 12 ft in the air. It was really ridiculous of me, but it was hilarious. Of course he spent the rest of the day attempting to get me back. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like that your recipe has sunflower seeds in it. I agree, this is a good one to pin too, for summer.
Oh, that's funny! I can see him sitting there like a zombie not wanting to get bit by the centipede lol. I hope he got you back just a little ;)
DeleteThese veggies look super delicious. I love how colorful they are too! I am so trying this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI love a colorful and healthy recipe and this one is definitely both!
DeleteThat looks like something I could really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt's so full of flavor Mary! I bet you would love it!
DeleteI love a mix of veggies. Lately we have had salads to make up for all the crappy food we ate over Easter. You know my pranks. I also thought about getting a donut box, and filling it with veggies. But...we have a traditional coffee cake that we eat, so that wouldn't of worked.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the taste! This is something that I can have on my table every day, Theresa..we love carrots, including my kids
ReplyDeleteThese julienne veggies look good drizzled in honey. I have so many ideas where I can put these for a great meals.
